Not to mention that I'd bet you $10 that you'd be hard pressed to find a GA
airport that was built near a school. My experience has been that the
airport was in existence for 30 years and then they put the school 1/4 mile
from the threshold.
Not hard pressed at all. My home airport fills the bill. From
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danbury,_Connecticut
A 60 acre (243,000 mē) tract near the Danbury Fairgrounds known as Tucker's Field was purchased by local pilots in 1928, and leased to the town. This became an airport, which is now Danbury Municipal Airport (ICAO airport code: KDXR).

So the charter of Wooster School was registered with the State of Connecticut in November, 1925, and the school opened the following fall.
I bet a lot of places are like that. Both the school and the airport go
way back. Schools were invented before airplanes, so if they both go
back far enough, the school will win.
